Hourly Cleanup Error

I manually ran the Hourly Cleanup cron job and I get an error on \vault\plugins\data\thread.php

When I run the hourly cleanup I get an error message:

This will require significant changes to a great many files, since it's possible that any number of them can be loaded during a cron process (like clean-up). The fact that $vbulletin->db is not used consistently throughout vBulletin, yet they destroy $db in cron processing to "force" use of an object they don't even use elsewhere, is a very annoying aspect of vBulletin.

So, what can I do in the meantime? The hourly cleanup is still important and this job seems to be hindering the other parts of that cron job from running.

Can I disable this vaultwiki's part of the cron job? This is still keeping me from running my hourly cron and now it's causing issues with my usergroup promotions.

As far as I can tell, this error will only occur if the cleanup task has any thread-redirects that are about to expire. In the process of deleting the redirect, VaultWiki checks if the thread has any wiki links that need to be removed from the database. This VaultWiki code is actually agnostic of the cron process; all it cares about is that a thread is being deleted.

For the time being, you can modify vault/plugins/data/thread.php to bypass this issue. Find:

Code:

$posts = $db->query_read("

Replace with:

Code:

$posts = $vbulletin->db->query_read("

Find:

Code:

while ($post = $db->fetch_array($posts))

Replace with:

Code:

while ($post = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($posts))

Find:

Code:

$db->free_result($posts);

Replace with:

Code:

$vbulletin->db->free_result($posts);

In vault/functions/data.php, find:

Code:

$db->query_write("

Replace with:

Code:

$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->db->query_write("

Find:

Code:

$postid = $db->query_first("

Replace with:

Code:

$postid = $GLOBALS['vbulletin']->db->query_first("

If the attempted delete is actually of a wiki article, there are quite a bit more changes that need to be made. I'm still looking for them all, but rest assured this is the highest priority issue to address for the next release.

Fixed all the problematic instances of $db (in data handlers, cache updates, bbcode parsing) for the next build. For the time being, Special pages do not yet need to be fixed because of #1459, but that can be addressed when that issue is closed.
